WOW, contemporary fiction meets sci fi. the author, kathy bell, really did her research for this story. she backs up the story line with a lot of facts, at least i think they are scientific fact. makes the book more believable. the main character, adya, is highly intelligent and yet very down to earth, easy to relate to. the last 10 pages were a little to much genetics for my taste, but i can see why it is necassary to the plot. it didn't change my opinion. i couldn't put the book down.
thank you so much for allowing me the opportunity to rcv and review this book. i look forward to your next book.
thanks again,
angela

The Making of Friends

If nobody smiled and nobody cheered
and nobody helped us along;
If every man looked after himself
and good things all went to the strong;

If nobody cared just a little for you,
and nobody thought about me
And we all stood alone in the battle of life,
what a dreary old world this would be!

Life is sweet because of the friends we’ve made.
All things in common we share.
We want to live on, not because of ourselves,
but because of the people who care.

It’s giving and doing for somebody else—
on that all life’s splendor depends;
And the joy of the world when you sum it all up,
is formed in the making of friends.

~ Ella Wheeler Wilcox (1850 -1919)
